Why Sewn Tackle Twill Beats Screen Printing Every Time

Most fan apparel looks great on day one.

The problem is what happens after day ten.

The graphics crack. The colors fade. The design starts peeling after a few trips through the wash. That's because most fan apparel relies on screen printing.

Sewn tackle twill is different.

Instead of applying ink to fabric, tackle twill uses individually cut pieces of material that are stitched directly onto the garment. The result is a premium look and feel that stands up to years of wear.

That's why professional jerseys use tackle twill.

It's why serious fans prefer it.

And it's why every item in the Birds collection uses sewn lettering instead of screen printing.

When you pick up a Birds hoodie or crew, or even a long or short-sleeve T, you'll immediately notice the difference.

The letters have dimension.

The stitching is visible.

The garment feels substantial.

Premium apparel costs more to make, but it lasts significantly longer and looks better every time you wear it.

For fans who appreciate craftsmanship, sewn tackle twill isn't an upgrade.

It's the standard.
